Growing up I had two very different parents who inspired me in different ways. As a true “Daddy’s girl,” I sometimes tagged along with him to work. He managed a grocery store and I’d follow him around requesting my own little jobs to do. As a 6-year-old, I’d be assigned fly-swatting duties at the entry doors and he would pay me a dime for each fly who dared to enter with the customers. My dad was the kindest, most hard-working man I’ve ever known and his customers adored him. I’d love to think this is where my high focus on customer service came from. He passed away in 2010, but to this day I remember watching him and learning how to treat people with big love so they keep coming back for more.
